Greetings. It's a very long time since I last had time for naval sims...apparently Harpoon3 is old news now :)
Anyway...
I'm a new owner of C:MANO and I have a Surface Pro (KBL version, native rez 2736x1824) that I want to run Command on. I have the display symptom shown in the screen shots posted in this thread. I'm using the Steam version of the game. I did apply the registry fix posted elsewhere and I tried the thing about setting the screen rez down to 1920x1080 but none of that helped.
However: I have solved the problem with the help of clues above so thanks to Sniper31 for asking and TitaniumTrout for the magic suggestion!
Here's the missing puzzle piece that did it for me and I hope it helps other Steam users...
Using a file explorer, in the steam directory look for the autorun.exe file:
c:\program files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command Modern Air Naval Operations\GameMenu_CMANO\autorun.exe
Right click on that file to bring up the properties dialog. In the compatibility tab check the "Override high DPI scaling behavior. scaling performed by:" check box and in the drop down for that select "system".
That should have immediate effect: I noticed that the C:MANO logo splash screen went from tiny to reasonable and when the game started the map screen was readable and the dialog boxes for various things were not garbled anymore. Some resizing of dialogs I'd visited before was needed to get them on the screen but that tweak basically sorted it for me.
[For completeness: I am not sure if the reg fix is a pre-requisite to the scaling tweak to work or not; doesn't seem to have hurt anything but it may be required before the DPI scaling tweak will work...I have not tried the DPI tweak without the registry fix.]
Hope that helps others!
Cheers,
Mark.
